LEARNING OUTCOMES
Capabilities in:
- integrative and participatory land use and transportation system planning in the context of urban and regional strategic spatial planning,
- the use of scenario planning tools in developing strategic frames for urban and regional development, thus enabling coping with uncertainty,
- strategic longer range assessment of short term decisions in land use and transportation,
- the strategic use of normative and legislative planning tools and various incentives related to the land use and transportation system,
- measuring land use functions with their implications to transportation,
- planning urban logistics and the public transportation network
- the use of theoretical concepts and models in planning work.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
A planning case requiring the integration of land use and transportation system planning with a strategic perspective in municipal and further regional contexts:
- Analyses of existing urban and regional structure and transportation system and related development trajectories and existing plans and policies, with the use of relevant data and data systems.
- The generation of alternative scenarios for long term development that inform the making of a visionary strategic frame.
- The making of an integrative strategic land use and transportation plan, in which short term planning choices are justified by a policy based on the created longer term strategic frame.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
valid for whole curriculum period:
Regular attendance is required. The study work consists of several compulsory planning and analysis assignments related to the planning case, involving both group and individual work.
Assessment is based on performance on the assignments and partly also on activity in class.
Workload
